Iron Grip: Giving the Industry a major lift.

Founded in 1993, Iron Grip Barbell Company quickly rose to prominence through the introduction of a revolutionary new design for weight plates. At the 1993 IHRSA convention, Iron Grip launched the first and only weight plates with integrated handgrips and a unique 12-sided design. This breakthrough became the company's signature product and represents the most significant improvement to the industry's oldest fitness equipment - the iron barbell and weight plate. Refined by sophisticated CAD/CAM software, this unique product is fully protected by numerous patents and a registered and trademarked name.

The Iron Grip weight plate is manufactured exclusively in the USA by one of America's premier iron foundries, making it one of the few in its category to be manufactured domestically.

Iron Grip Olympic weight plates quickly became the first choice for premium facilities across the country and raised the standard for free weight products. Iron Grip Barbell Company grew rapidly by catering to the marketplace with a combination of innovative design and quality construction.
